Weekend

Well this weekend went by way too fast, who said let's just have 2 days in the weekend?? Why isn't there 3? Well my hubby went to the Alabama Football game with one of his friends, I wanted to go but they forecast it to be rainy the whole day so I didn't go (didn't want to get sick). Well he informed me it rained on them the whole way down there and 15 min before the game started the sun came out and didn't rain until they got back in the truck to go home, how crazy. Well I tried to clean the house a little Saturday but for some reason couldn't get in the mood. So I stayed in the bed most of the day and watched the Ballgame by myself, which wasn't bad. Had fun relaxing. Today we went to church and we both came home and washed our vehicles in and out, by the time I got done, it was time to go back to church. We have gotten in a slump of not going on Sunday nights but I decided I needed to start it up again. Jason stayed home he's been suffering with Sinus trouble most of the week and I think Saturday made it worse. Well here it is 8:35, just got done eating ramen noodles (feels like college again) and I'm ready to go to bed. But not ready for another work week, I used to like my job (my old one) now I dread having to go so far for work and being worked to death, I need a change. Please pray I find one soon.

Hanging with the Girls

Well Friday, me and my hubby went to the doctor's appt for my 2nd checkup. We did all the bloodwork and finally did an ultrasound, I was so excited to see the baby. It had only been 3 weeks since my last one but the baby actually looks like a baby and not a peanut anymore. You could see the features like the head was more defined and it had arms and legs. The doctor showed us the heartbeating which is no neat, no words can describe being able to see your baby's heart beating. Also the baby jumped 3 times like it had the hiccups. I was almost in tears I was so moved. Anyways my mom was able to come into the room with us too since she works at the hospital and the doctor was nice enough to give me 3 pics, one for me, hubby, and my mom. After the appt. I had to go home and get ready for an awesome night with my girls from school. I had so much fun, starting with waiting on Miss Becca. When we got there there was only a couple of us there but thankfully Cotton and Carrie were there so we got to see her before her and grandma left. After everyone got there, Amanda said Mrs. Ebert might show up and as soon as the words came out there she was. It was hilarious, she went directly to Jen and starting dancing and singing "Brick House". We laughed and laughed until I was crying. The whole night was nothing but laughter with Jen's stories to us telling our little secrets that got us through Hyg school. LOL. Then when the night was about over we said next meeting was at Carrie's new house for Halloween and Christmas. I can't wait to see how she decorated it, she is so awesome and we all pray for her everyday. Well Becca wanted to follow me back to the interstate to make sure she got there ok. I was going past it so all she had to do was just veer off to the exit one ramp. LOL I am still lauging, We were approaching the exit and I noticed she wasn't getting over so I tapped my brake lights and turned on my blinker, at first she thought I was going crazy but looked up and noticed her exit. I called her and we laughed and laughed. She had been replaying the night in her head and going over everything everyone had said and thankfully there wasnt anyone behind her. I love her so much and the rest of the girls. I miss them so much and we do believe that we had the closest class out of them all. I am really glad I decided to go to Wallace when I did. Don't know what I would do without these girls. Especially Becca and Cole. Love yall

Cravings

Haven't had too many cravings so far....not sure if its real cravings or something I wanted in general. First I noticed that I just wanted some ice to chew on, the kind from Zaxby's is the best. Second most craving is grapes. I have ate like 3 or 4 bags so far but they got to be the green ones. Other cold fruit has also gotten my attention like watermelon and now that I think about it I really want a cantelope right this second. hmm don't think I want to make a trip to Walmart tonight though. Every now and then I start wanting some cherry or grape koolaid, but it has to have crushed ice. And I know what you are about to say about pickles, which I have been eating lately, but in all honesty I really liked to eat them before I was pregnant (so not sure if its just an old habit or actual craving). Also another piece of advice.....don't watch Steel Magnolias when you are hormonally challenged, lol. I have watched that movie a hundred times but the first time I watched it while I was PG I boohoo and just sobbed and sobbed. Not talking about a tear coming down my cheek, my whole body was shaking I was crying so hard. Then when I got done crying I started lauging because of how silly I was acting, it is so weird how your hormones act. One of my good friends gave some of her pregnancy books and I started on the first one, which I recommend even if you are not pregnant it's by Jenny McCarthy called Belly Laughs. O my gosh it was so funny and she is so honest and doesnt beat around the bush like these other books are. She will tell it like it is. It was so funny I read some of the passages to my hubby and he even cracked up, I would read some of the passages over and over and just laugh out loud. Please get this book. Heard she also has another book out too, so I will have to check that one out too. Well today is Sept 11 and like every year since then I watch the shows about the attack just to remember all the heroes and people that have lost their lives. Also think about the military men and women all over the world fighting this war to keep us free. I actually think about these people every day because at one time my brother was one of these military men who sacrificed alot to help the USA but he is safe at home now, but also know several people in the armed forces. It is another good idea not to watch these kinds of shows when you are pregnant.boo hoo. Well I have rambled on enough for one blog, could've made this one 3 diff blogs. but until next time. Cass

Week 9

Well tomorrow it will be the start of week 9. Last week was ok except for Tues and Wed. Especially Wednesday, I was nausious from when I woke up til I went to bed, but didn't throw up. I was on the verge of it all day. Today was much better, no sickness really except I got really full just eating a small hamburger. Well I weighed again on Thursday and I am back at the weight I was when I found out I was pregnant, so I have lost a couple pounds. Well just got a craving for pizza from a commercial so me and Jason just got back from ordering one. It was so good. Well got to go for now, I will tell you about the other cravings next blog.

Week 8

Well tomorrow will be the start of my 8th week of Pregnancy. So far I have been doing really good. Although I have the occasional nausea in the afternoon and at night. I really hope it doesn't get bad to where I throwup. Also noticed I have to pee like all the time, it's so weird since the baby is so small, but have been doing alot of research on the internet and it's from the sac is sitting right ontop of the bladder. Also I had lost like 41 pounds before I got pregnant so I had lost some weight in my boobs but guess what....they are bigger than when I had lost weight, already had to go up one size. kinda scary because they say they only get bigger. The only other thing I have noticed is being really tired and feeling worn out. I go back to the doctor at my 9 week check to do another sonogram and blood work. At that point the baby should have its toes and fingers sprouted. We will also get to listen to the heartbeat. It is so weird to know you have something growing inside of you, I am glad to be part of one if God's miracles. Also my best friend is pregnant too, she is 6 weeks ahead of me and about the time she was telling me she was pregnant I had just gotten pregnant. We have always did everything together and I think it is awesome we can share this experience together. Everyone keeps asking me what do you want a boy or girl??? I really just want a healthy baby.....but I found this website I know several people have done, its the chinese gestational calendar, its supposed to tell the sex of the baby. What you do is you have to know the age you conceived and the month you conceived and just read the chart and its supposed to be like 99% accurate. The calendar says I am going to have a GIRL, just wonder how accurate it will be, well we will see in a few weeks. Need everyone's prayers that the baby will be healthy!!!!!!
